A farmer who grows bitter gourd
According to the farmer, the market price for growing bitter gourds is in millions of rupees. In July and August, he plants bitter gourd seeds. Following this, he keeps weeding in October, which helps him earn millions of rupees in November, December, and January.
Greater financial gain compared to conventional farming
According to Sajjan, conventional wheat and rice cultivation yields less profit than vegetable gardening. He farms vegetables for that reason. He has also rented out other people’s lands for this. A scientific approach to vegetable gardening, in his opinion, will increase yields and farmers’ incomes compared to conventional farming.
Devoted his life to farming.
Sajjan decided to pursue a profession in farming. He has barely studied up to class three. Sajjan farms by renting other people’s property since he owns very little of his own. His success now is teaching other farmers as well.
